Cherry Falls Tomato (Organic 55 Days)

Extremely productive, early cherry tomato for hanging baskets and containers. Cascading vines are prolific, producing clusters of 1 ½” cherry-sized tomatoes; sweet, juicy, and perfect for snacking. We started them early, transplanted them to large hanging baskets, and were munching on them by early July.

PLANTING

Solanum lycopersicum

Determinate

Germination: 7-14 days

Germination Temperature: Optimum soil temperatures 70-85ºF.

Seed Sowing Depth: 1/4” deep

Starting Indoors: 6 weeks before the last frost. Provide 75-80ºF soil temperatures. Sow 2-3 seeds per cell/pot, thin to the strongest seedling, or use the 20 Row seedling flat, transplanting into individual pots when seedlings get their 3rd set of leaves. Fertilize the seedlings every 7-10 days with a liquid or water-soluble fertilizer, diluted to ¼ of the suggested measurement. Transplant out after the last frost. Space 24-36" apart

Sowing Outdoors: Only in areas with very long growing seasons. Sow after the last frost. 

Harvest: When the fruit is red (or the color of the variety planted) and firm.

Tips:  Tomatoes need fertile, well-drained soil, amended with compost and/or organic fertilizer. Keep well watered for optimum growth. Mulching retains moisture and helps with disease. Planting seedlings deeper than they were growing in their pots helps make a stronger root system. Do not apply excessive nitrogen, which can promote excessive foliage and poor fruit set.
